Good time rolling around the city, picked up a few delicacies here and there, had a couple of bowls of MB Mixture in the Falcon... enjoying it all while I can.
Home to a Nescafé coffee and a Calich bent bulldog filled with yet more Mixture. I'm not one to mess with success.

Just back from a quick trip to Georgia to pick up a motorcycle trailer. Don't nobody ever tell me that Houston is hot and humid! Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, and Louisiana all have us beat. And I will take our mosquitoes over the biting gnats any day! 😨 Just for my first bowl in 4 days, P&W #515 in a Basil Meadows Merchant Marine Bing with an aluminum band and a Cumberland stem. Those are called no see'm. They are nasty little buggers! Thanks, but that name is too nice for them. We will stick with the names we came up with as long as there's no respectable looking people around. How do people stand it? |

Now smoking 2014 Peretti No. 8 Slice in a 1980s straight smooth Big Ben pot with a nickel band and a black vulcanite stem. Jim, what do you think of No. 8 Slice? (I don't remember if you did a review of it??) I think it's a good "crumble flake". |

(I don't remember if you did a review of it??) I think it's a good "crumble flake". I did review it just a day ago at TR. Very good blend. Reminds me of some Watch City products, which isn't surprising as Sutliff makes both. Now smoking Sam Gawith Medium Virginia Flake in a 2014 Savinelli Gaius smooth brown slight bend black acrylic stem and ferrule 320KS author. Watching the Braves-Padres game. I'll listen to the rest of it when I go back to work. |

I'm smoking some Prince Albert in one of my bday pipes that showed up today. It's a brown Savinelli Alligator 614. Breaking it in! I also got a Savory's rusticated billiard with sterling band, a large Castleford Dublin carved by Collin Fromm, a Northern Briars Zulu and a Nording freehand. I might have gone eBay overboard?

Popped open a mason jar of Commonwealth that I sealed up 5 years ago, and liked it so much that I had 3 bowls in my Peterson XL23.

Tonight it's some SG Best Brown Flake in the Vauen Luxor 402 pipe with some more Reuben's Summer IPA along side. I am using my Snake tamper with the Luxor pipe because it matches so well with it.  |

Enjoying a bowl of Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a 2002 smooth top, black sandblasted quarter bend Karl Erik Ekstravagant horn with a horn insert in the ferrule and black acrylic stem. Might finish the night with this smoke. Watching Gunsmoke, but I think I make more smoke than Marshall Dillon.

Earlier I was looking for the goods to do a little patching of a pair of jeans (it's what we po' folk do), aside from finding the meaning of the phrase "like a needle in a haystack", I also came across an old companion I thought was long gone: a sandblasted Medico Husky. Made with "select briar", so you know it smokes great!
Enjoying the second bowl in row of MB Mixture in it.
